She’s Crafty: Ceramic Bead & Button Necklace & Earrings

Oh, I’ve been having so much fun creating for the She’s Crafty feature. My latest project involved making a necklace and earrings with some ceramic beads and buttons from Panopoly Creations.

Panopoly Creations is the work of ceramist Lynae Straw and I’ve long admired her creations, especially her beads and buttons. I love the textures and the colorful glazes of her work and I had this idea to string some of her buttons on some sterling chain with bead accents. I’m so happy with how it turned out…see my creation below.

All the buttons and beads are from Panopoly Creations and I used some sterling silver wire, chain and findings I already had on hand (probably sourced from Fire Mountain). I also used some carnelian accents on the earrings.

Lynae’s beads and buttons can be used for all types of projects, not just jewelry. I’d love to use some as an accent on a fabric bag & on this scarflette I am making. Custom requests are also available, so if you have something specific in mind for one of your projects, just contact Lynae.
